Two Men Charged in Extortion-Linked Shootings Including Kapil Sharma's RestaurantPreviousNext

Two men, Pardeep Singh and Saveer Khan, both aged 22, were arrested and charged in connection with two shootings in Surrey, Canada, including one at comedian Kapil Sharma's restaurant on October 16, 2025. The shootings, described by police as extortion-related, also involved a separate incident on October 12 where a woman was injured. The British Columbia Extortion Task Force led the investigation, which involved extensive evidence gathering over a year, resulting in charges of reckless discharge of a firearm against both suspects.
